"Had MQ Painting paint the exterior of my house and garage and could not be happier. Did everything the right way! First came and power washed everything a few days before, then on first day of painting removed all old caulk and re-caulked, plus filled any holes. Gave everything 2 coats and on one part that was stain actually gave 3 coats. Original quote did not include foundation, soffit, gutters, front and rear stairs but Jose added those in at a reasonable price, so had those done too. Also painted chimney at no extra charge, On top of all this they completed the job in 2 days. Could tell from first time I had Jose come out to give me a quote he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his business and painting, which I really liked. I would not hesitate to recommend MQ Painting to anybody. I guarantee you will be happy with the quality of work and price you'll receive from MQ Painting."

"BMB Painting was Fantastic. As per their proposal and our conversations, all the outside work was done impeccably and done at very reasonable rates. All the work was done in the time suggested and they prepped all work areas and cleaned up very well. We will be hiring them again for some inside painting in the future as well. I would highly recommend using BMB Painting!"

"We hired Certa-Pro to paint our kitchen and we couldn't be more pleased with the work they did and having us feel at ease with the process. Our kitchen has a lot of corners and high areas and wanted to update itwith a new color.  When Carmina came out to give us an estimate, she was friendly and quick with her assessment.  She even helped us pick a color as we were still debating on exactly what we wanted.  Once we decided that we wanted to go with Certa-Pro, it was a quick process to schedule the painters on when they would come in.  We ended up scheduling the job on a Saturday which was convenient for us, as my wife and I both work.  It was a one day job and both painters were polite and courteous, both asking the right questions to make sure they did the job correctly and answering our own questions about how they would do the job.  They even moved our appliances to
get the spots behind them, even though no one would ever see them.  I was very impressed with the care and attention to detail they demonstrated.  Afterward they cleaned up and left the kitchen as they found it.  Aside from the new color on the walls, you
never knew they were there. 
I highly recommend Certa-Pro for any of your home paining needs.  You never know what you?re gonna get with some contractors but Certa-Pro quickly put us at ease, with both price and scheduling, we knew quickly we were in good hands.  We will defiantly call on them again for our future painting needs.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
